[Chapter One-Remembrance]
Selphie skipped along her old high school and touched her locker, No. 347. Her 10 year renunion was about to start, so she wanted to absorb as much of Trabia High as she could. She danced around and twirled in her pink dress, which she had bought just for the occasion. He pink faux diamond heels clicked against the marble floors, creating a rythm to dance by.
She danced out of the halls and into her own classroom, where Irvine had told her to meet him. She ran inside and instantly slipped on water that had been spilt there. Strong arms caught her and picked her up. "Hey cowgirl." The owner of the arms said. "Hey Irvine!" she said, and hugged him. They hadn't seen each other for over a month. He had gone on a buisness trip, but wrote to her to meet him at the reunion in their old classroom. She turned around to face him. "I'm so happy you came!" "Yeah, me too. Glad to see you." Irvine smiled and gave Selphie a little peck on the lips. "Now, the reunion's about to start, and we've got so much to catch up on!!"
Selphie sat down in his lap and told him about her job. "I got a job while you were gone...I might be called to travel a lot, but hopefully that won't interfere, right???" Selphie said hopefully. "No, of course not!" Irvine laughed, and hugged her closer. "Oh, becasue I was thinking...what if you came with me on some of the trips?" Selphie asked, and smiled happily. "Uhh...I..um..." Irvine fiddled with his hat. "What's wrong?" Selphie asked, and tilted her head. "No I'm fine!" Irvine said, suddenly changing his mood. "I'll go! Of course!" Selphie smiled. "Great!! My first trip is in a month!" she exclaimed, and kissed him on the cheek before grabbing his arm and jumping up. "Let's go! The reunion is starting!"

"Rinoa! Hey!" Selphie cried, hugging her friend. Rinoa wore a long denim dress. "Selph!! So grea to see you again!! It's been what, 5 years?" "Yeah...I really missed both of you!!" Selphie hugged both Irvine and Rinoa. "So, what have you been doing?" "Well, I got a great new boyfriend!" "That's awesome! Have you met Irvine?" Selphie pushed Irvine in front of her, and Rinoa shook his hand. "Nice to meet you!" "Nice to meet you too." "Well, I gotta go." "See ya." Selphie waved to Rinoa as she left.
Irvine and Selphie were cuddled up on the couch in Selphie's apartment. Selphie had fallen asleep, and Irvine was half-asleep. He kissed her forehead and got up slowly. "G'night Sleph." he whispered and walked out of the apartment.
Selphie woke up and looked for Irvine. "Irvy?" She found a note on her dresser. "I went back home. Love, Irvine." Selphie looked up and smiled. "Well, I'll give him a surprise!" she said cheerfully, and got up and got dressed in some jeans and a pink shirt.
Selphie knocked on his door. No one answered. She opened it quietly, just in case he was asleep. "Hello Irv-" She stopped suddenly. Irvine was on the couch with a blonde-haired woman, and they were kissing. She couldn't talk at all. Her voice box had shut down. She opened her mouth but nothing came out. She slowly made her way out the door.
Tears stung Selphie's eyes as she ran down the driveway to her car. She stopped and took out her keys and fiddled with them to open. But she couldn't. Not enough strength. She finally just slumped down on the sidewalk. 'How could he do this??!!' she thought frantically, and felt hot tears stream down her cheeks. Her mascara was starting to run, and it didn't help when she rubbed her eyes and smeared it. She finally got the strength to open the car door and get inside.
As she drove, she couldn't help but wonder how long this had gone on. 'I bet he met her while he was away. I bet they met the very first day and...and...' Selphie couldn't think much longer. She sighed and finally reached her apartment room. She climbed up the stairs and shoved the keys in the lock.
She looked at her messages. From Irvine...about 2 minutes ago. She read them.
"Selphie, honey, I'm really sorry, I-" she hung up. And then she glanced at the phone. 'It's over.' she thought, and picked up the reciever. She dialed his number slowly, and heard his phone ring. Someone answered. The woman he was with. "Hello, Irvine Kinnea's house, Quistis speaking." Selphie raged inside and tried not to yell at her. "Let me speak to Irvine please." she said tensely. "Who is calling?" Quistis asked, and Selphie clenched her teeth. "Selphie, his girlfriend." "Oh, um, here he is." She heard the phone being passed and Irvine's familiar voice. "Hey!" "We're through, Irvine Kinneas." "But honey-" "I don't give a damn about your excuse, Irvine. We're through."
Selphie slammed down the phone. It bounced off and fell to the floor. She went into her bedroom and felt so weak she couldn't walk to her bed and fell on the floor. She cried and screamed and pounded her bean-bag chair. "I HATE YOU!! I HATE YOU!!" Her tears fell into the creases and made pools of water. She sniffed and crawled onto her bed. "I hate you Irvine!! I! Hate! You!!!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, and fell off the bed.
She got up and stumbled to the bathroom, and had to hold the wall for support. She looked in the mirror. Her cheeks were tear-stained and red and black. Her mascara was smeared, and her lipstick had come off. Her hair had lost it's bounce and had fallen to her shoulders. Her eyes had lost the bright shine they had before. She sighed and washed her face, and brushed her hair. No more make-up today. She smiled and went to the living room.
She slumped down on the couch and turned on the tv. She changed the channel. Nothing on. She changed the channel. "Ooh! Friends!" The One with the Proposal. She tunred it off quickly. Nothing good on. The phone rang. Selphie jumped up and answered it. "Hello?" "Selphie Tilmit?" "Yes sir." "We have a new trip for you. Scratch out the other one." "Yes sir." "You are to go to one city in every country and bring one person form each city back here. We especially need someone with either a medical or teacher's degree. Be sure to include this city." "Yes sir. For what?" "We need people for the Balamb Garden. Instructers, nurses, coaches." "Yes sir. When do I start?" "Tomorrow, so start packing. And report at my office at 7:30 am." "Yes sir."
Selphie hung up the phone, her hands shaking. 'I'm going to travel...the whole world?! Woah!' she screamed in her mind and ran to her bedroom to pack. She dragged out a few old suitcases and packed them with jeans, shirts, shorts, pjs dresses, shoes, socks, underwear, money, and snacks. She found a picture in her closet. It was Irvine, Rinoa and her. She had Irvine's cowboy hat and was on his shoulders, and Rinoa was hugging Selphie from the ground. Selphie got some scissors and cut Irvine out of it. So now it looked like Selphie was floating. She tore the whole picture up. Tears streamed down her cheeks again, and she quickly wiped them away and took the suitcases to her car.
Selphie looked at the clock. It was 9:30 pm, and she probably needed to go to sleep, since she was going to have to get up early. But she walked torwards the phone instead. She picked up the reciever and dialed Rinoa's number. It was picked up instantly.
"Hello, this is Rinoa Heartilly, please speak."
"Um, hi Rinoa." Selphie said shakily.
"Oh! Hi Selph! What's wrong?"
"I..broke up with Irvine." Selphie sniffed.
"Why?" Rinoa asked frantically, as if they weren't together the world would crumble.
"I...found him with another woman....her name was Quistis."
"I know her." Rinoa said. "We're good friends, I can't believe she did that! She had a boyfriend too!!"
"Who?" Selphie asked. 'Maybe I can get him!!' she thought.
"Zell Dincht."
Selphie smiled. "Where does he live?"
"Why, you want to meet him? Be my guest, but someone's had their eye on him for years, but Quistis got to him first. He lives in Fisherman's Horizon."
Selphie's heart dropped. She sighed. "Oh well. I'm going around the world soon anyway, maybe I'll meet someone..."
"Really?! How wierd! I'm going atleast halfway around the world too!"
"Cool! Maybe we'll see each other sometime. Well, I've got to go, I have to get up early, so bu-bye!" Selphie hung up the phone.
She climbed into bed, feeling much better after talking to Rinoa. She turned on her small pink lamp and clicked the other light off and turned her tv on low. 'Maybe I'll find someone somewhere who's nice...and..handsome...and....funny...and...' But she had fallen asleep.
